Foo LamThe newest kid on the block (formerly Zao) is a no-frills storefront above a pool hall near Marché Central – unless you consider poker broadcasts on large screens to be a frill. What they lack in ambiance, they make up for with grub such as niu bai ye (beef leaf tripe) and niàng xiè qián (stuffed crab claw). $2.25 – $3.50, 9394 Acadie Blvd., 514-387-7665.
